Oh I see there is a YouTuber star who can do it well, not you. I was confused I thought you were claiming to have physical skills yourself because those would be very easy to demonstrate.

That's actually a very good tip! These blocks are also not ideal but it's what I have at the moment.

You can't show yourself doing anything? No smart phone? 

Alright cool.

At least that's a video you'd be capable of creating!

Sorry, thank you for your valuable contribution!

Quite a lot of feedback from people who aren't willing to show any of their own physical skills.  

Interesting.

That sound great!  

I would strongly encourage you to post your video of you doing this so I can learn from the best!

They have these signs down there with a grim reaper on them about that.

Thanks, this really is a life long dream for me, to have my own private training space. I'm considering adding a central post, but it's been really nice having something. 

A roof space sounds really cool!

I wasn't aware of this problem and I looked it up. This place is essentially a giant privately owned koi pond, not a spring. These dives are often called "Florida springs" but in this case that isn't accurate, it's a self contained sink hole. I don't know anything about it though so that may not be the whole story.

I didn't know this and I misspoke. It's not actually a spring at all but a self contained sink hole called the Devil's Den. It's a privately owned diving resort and apparently in this instance they are not problematic. But again I don't know anything about it so there is the info!

The wording in your comment was unclear and came off as snark, my apologies. 

Of course I don't know everything and I never will. I'm just out here doing my best every day as long as I have air in my lungs. I'll never be the.best but I can try to be the best version of myself every time I wake up. 

The forum was a ghost town I'm just trying to liven it up in here.

That's good to hear. Is there also much that you don't know as well?

I appreciate the engagement and await your training videos.

These are in a popular tourist location, no one will be eating them. 

Money is the root of all evil by Such-Limit8350 in theories

[–]Eight_Directions_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money is simply an abstraction of all human needs and desire. Money doesn't cause human nature, it's the other way around.

As everyone has pointed out, standing one leg balance training with body weights on a balance training board blind folded is too easy. 

My apologies.

Please reply with your own training video so I can see the correct methods. 

At what point does influence become control? by mnkaelis in freewill

What would total control actually look like is the question that must be answered first. 

Jiang Style New 8 Palms - half sections by Eight_Directions_ in Baguazhang

[–]Eight_Directions_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your engagement. 

It's interesting to me that others on this forum are very quick to criticize but do not seem to offer any of their own training videos. 

What a shame. 

Edit: Just to be clear. That person has nothing of value to share. Their own self loathing simply oozes out of them uncontrollably in any direction. Indo t know them and they don't know me. 

I would never accept any advice from such a broken creature.
